Losing is never fun for fans. But what a season for the Dodgers. So many ups and downs, injuries to key pieces, losing streaks, Manny, a division title, winning our first playoff series since 88, it was a hell of a ride.

Congrats to the Phillies. Very good team. They were the one team I was cautious about playing before the playoffs started. They played better then us, plain and simple. Again congrats.

We have a very good young team fella's. Martin, Loney, Kemp, Ethier plus pitchers Kershaw, Bills, Broxton, and McDonald who I have been waiting to see in a Dodger uniform. Plus Elbert who will be on the staff next year.

It sucks that we fell short, but I have confidence we will see the boys in blue back in contention next year!!

Go Dodgers!!!!

New York is gonna give him 5 years $150, just watch

they can just plug him in at DH

Manny gets the spotlight in the big city
Manny gets his ultimate revenge against Boston
Manny gets to play for a winner where he can loosen the clubhouse and Joe Girardi is a fantastic player friendly coach

I would be shocked if Manny isn't in a Yankees uniform when next year starts

I think it will be between the Yankees and Dodgers. New York is gonna try and make a HUGE SPLASH this year in free agency. After a disappointing season, they will certainly try to get back to money ball.

A lineup of Jeter, Abreu, Rodriguez and Ramirez? OMG that is just scary.

I think his sights are set on New York already, there is no reason why he would want to come back here to LA unless they outbid the Yanks LOL!

[MDI]

Abreu is the weak link in my opinion, he's in a slow decline

Matsui is still dangerous

micheal, go troll the Angels board, or show some damn respect. MDI, Manny hates the spotlight. get CC or Manny!

[MDI]

Mando, but he also wants a big longterm contract

the size of his contract doesn't worry me I think 2 years $40 million is just right for him but he wants at least a 4 or 5 year deal and as an NL team I don't think we can offer that to an aging player. Also..like it or not, he's still a huge liability defensively.

Im really looking forward to the off season because the Dodgers could potentially look very different next season.


Dodgers Free Agents (Prediction):
Garciaparra (One year deal)
Kent (Retired)
Furcal (Possible 2 year deal, incentives due to health)
Blake (2 year deal)
Ramirez (Dodgers offer 4 year, 90 million deal)
Lowe (Not brought back)
Maddux (Retire, Special Pitching Coach for Dodgers)
Beimel (2/3 year deal)

That is a great veteran presence that are all on the verge of leaving. The Dodgers have some big time holes to feel because only 3 or 4 of those guys will be coming back.

So with Lowe possibly leaving, the Dodgers would have to go looking for a Ace unless they are set with Bills as the Ace next season. Then the Dodgers would go looking for a #2 or #3 type pitcher.

Possible pitchers for Dodgers:
Sabathia
Burnett
Garland
Sheets
Clement
Fogg

It's going to be a interesting off season, Colletti has some work to do.

Go Dodgers!!!!

[Tobias Fünke]

Eff Furcal. He can't stay healthy.

Eff Furcal. He can't stay healthy.

Well who do you want to play short? You want Hu there so we can have a SS who hits .050 an entire season?
